Ep 179 - Fatherhood Is the Frontline: A Battle Plan with Devin Schadt
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025
Catholic men today stand in the middle of a spiritual battlefield, and most don’t even realize it. In this episode, I sit down with Devin Schadt, founder of The Fathers of St. Joseph, co-host of The Catholic Gentleman, and author of The Rule: Councils and Directives for Husbands and Fathers. This conversation is a direct call to arms. If you have grown numb, passive, distracted, or uncertain about your mission as a man, this episode will shake you awake.From the opening minutes, Devin drills into the truth most men avoid: fatherhood is the epicenter of the entire moral and spiritual crisis in our culture. As he says clearly, if you get the father, you get the marriage, you get the family, you get the parish, and eventually you begin to win the world for Christ. This is not theory. This is spiritual warfare. And the devil knows it.We break open the wounds men carry, the lies they believe, the gaps in their spiritual lives, and the hunger children have for their father’s gaze. And more importantly, we lay out the path forward. Devin gives practical direction for living St. Joseph’s spirituality, establishing order in the home, blessing your children every night, uniting with your wife as a single spiritual front, and building a “rule of life” that keeps you standing when the spiritual bullets start flying.If you’re tired of drifting, tired of being spiritually numb, tired of watching the culture swallow families whole, press play.

As the father goes, so goes the family.”“You cannot give what you do not possess. If I do not have God in me, I cannot give God to my family.”“One man can change the world, and it can be a little hidden man—just like St. Joseph.”KEY TAKEAWAY FOR MENEstablish daily prayer—no matter what.
